Prep: 10 minsCook: 15 minsTotal: 25 minutes
Servings: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Chipotle-Lime Aioli

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest ( 1⁄2 a lime)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated or finely minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder 
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Set the air fryer to 375 degrees and allow it to preheat.
  2. Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts and cut each of the sprouts into quarters (Note: cut very small Brussels sprouts in half). Save any loose Brussels sprout leaves, as you can use those, too.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprout quarters, halves, and loose leaves with oil and salt.
  4. Once the air fryer is preheated, transfer the Brussels into the airy fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 7 minutes.
  6. Optional Aioli: While the sprouts are frying, prepare the aioli. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, chipotle powder, and salt. Set the aioli aside until ready to serve.
  7. Once the Brussels have cooked in the air fryer for 7 minutes, remove the basket and shake to stir them a little.
  8. Return the basket and air fry for another 8 minutes (for 15 minutes total cooking time).
